McKenna Worline, Master Level Clinical Intern

Empathizing with the fact that change is rarely easy, having been in the client chair myself, I believe growth is possible and am ready to walk beside you in your transformation journey. I currently work with children diagnosed with Autism in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis.

My approach is all about connection. I believe that we all share pieces of ourselves with others, and those connections—no matter how small—can be powerful catalysts for change. You are not a fixed being; you are always evolving, and I am here to help you tap into your potential and move toward the life you want.

Using a blend of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and deep self-exploration, I help clients uncover what’s beneath the surface. Like an iceberg, much of what drives our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors lies beneath our awareness. Through thoughtful guidance, I will help you access and understand those hidden parts of yourself—so you can break patterns, heal, and grow with clarity and confidence.

I am interested in working with individuals of any age experiencing depression, anxiety, domestic abuse, parenting, bullying and individuals diagnosed with Autism. Customizing treatment to each person, I extract technique components from a variety of therapeutic approaches to thoughtfully personalize your care.

Outside of providing therapy, I find joy in running, pilates, creating cringy metaphors, and cuddling my cute little dog who acts like a pitbull.
